The Emperor curled up his knuckles and knocked on the table with force, a hint of killing intent radiating from him.
"In my humble opinion, the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage, Qin Dezhao, should be like the advisors of the Marquis Mansion said. He was likely just after some silver! It was Qin Dezhao's first time doing such a thing, and he didn't expect to be caught by his subordinates. Those underlings, feeling emboldened with a big figure like the Marquis, became increasingly unscrupulous! It was only then that Qin Dezhao followed the advice of his mansion's advisor and resorted to murder to clear his name," the Minister of Judicial Review said slowly. "Moreover, since the Marquis Mansion and the Duke Mansion are related by marriage, Qin Dezhao wouldn't actually harm his in-laws for the sake of his son."
The Emperor thought the Minister of Judicial Review made sense. He gazed deeply at the red lacquered pillars in the hall. "What you say... makes sense!"
